Arcadia (Mage) = Arcadia (Changeling) ?

The important question is this: is the place that
changelings call “Arcadia” the same place that mages
refer to when they use the word? Do mages venture
to Arcadia to Awaken, and are the strange creatures
they glimpse there the Fae (or, perhaps, changelings-
in-progress)?
There is no mandated “canon” answer to this
question. The games are designed as if the two could
be the same — that is, we’ve avoided material that
would clearly prove that they aren’t, as well as con-
crete proof that they are — but the answer is some-
thing that every Storyteller needs to decide how, and
whether, to answer. The latter issue, that of whether
the question needs an answer at all, might be the most
important. After all, if your chronicle never includes
mages, you don’t have any call to consider where they
go when they Awaken. (And, for any Mage Storyteller
who’s picked up this book, the reverse is also true — if
you aren’t dealing with the Lost, who cares where they
come from?) But assuming that Acanthus mages and
changelings might, in your chronicle, interact and that
you need to figure out the metaphysics of venturing to
“Arcadia,” you have two simple possibilities, each with
a lot of potential in the details.
